Monthly Teacher Recognition Program

The CTEEA recognizes the dedication, accomplishments and leadership demonstrated daily by our Connecticut Technology and Engineering Education educators and want to celebrate these teachers through a monthly, yearly and national recognition program.

THE 2025-2026 monthly recognition program will begin October 2025, Connecticut teachers and administrators will be able to electronically nominate any Connecticut Technology and Engineering Education teacher, does not have to be a current CTEEA member, for this monthly recognition. Self nomination will also be encouraged and accepted.

From October 2025 to June 2026 those who are considered for monthly recognition and are unified members of CTEEA/ITEEA will be encouraged to apply for Connecticut CTEEA Teacher of the Year and the teacher chosen as the Connecticut Teacher of the Year for 2026 will be forwarded to ITEEA for their recognition at the ITEEA Conference in the spring of 2027, as the Annual Teacher Excellence awardee from Connecticut.
